Description
Key responsibilities
Provide respectful support with personal care, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility, household tasks and daily routines, promoting participant choice, control, dignity and independence.
Prepare, present and supervise food and fluids strictly in accordance with each participant's current mealtime-management plan, texture-modified diet instructions, swallowing-safety requirements and food-safety procedures.
Implement each participant's current Positive Behaviour Support Plan using proactive, least-restrictive, person-centred and trauma-informed approaches.
Use low-arousal, predictable communication by explaining what is happening next, using visual or communication supports where required, allowing adequate processing time and avoiding unnecessary repetition or escalation.
Learn and consistently use each participant's preferred communication methods, including visual supports, key word signs, gestures, cue cards, communication devices and other strategies.
Build safe, respectful and trusting relationships with participants while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
Complete accurate shift notes, progress notes, food and fluid records, sleep records, medication documentation where applicable, incident reports and other required records within required timeframes.
Support participants safely in the community, including road safety, public transport, water safety, appointments, recreation and community activities, while following required staffing ratios and risk-management plans.
Identify, respond to, document and escalate incidents, injuries, behaviours of concern, near misses, unauthorised restrictive-practice concerns and other safety risks in accordance with Tibii's incident-management procedures.
Participate in supervision, team meetings, mandatory training, competency assessments, participant reviews and performance-development processes.
